Chapter 21: Going to Work (2/2)



"You run pretty fast." Song Yun took the thermos with a smile and pinched Song Ziyi's cute little cheeks. "Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. The noodles will be ready soon."

The noodles cooked quickly. There were no eggs, ham or vegetables, just plain noodles. Fortunately, Song Yun had bought some seasonings beforehand, including salt and sesame oil, which made the noodles quite fragrant after mixing them together.

After washing up, the brother and sister quickly ate the clear soup noodles, then boiled the well water they had just filled in a ceramic pot and poured it into two army green Type 65 kettles. One of the kettles was distributed by the Youth League Office, and the other was bought by her in Beijing for seven yuan. At that time, she didn't know that the Youth League Office would distribute kettles, so she bought two. Now there is still one in the system storage compartment.

I still have this kettle at home, it's incredibly durable.

After much haste, she finally arrived at the threshing ground at seven o'clock. Those who arrived early had already received their respective tasks and were fetching farm tools to go to work. Although she arrived on time, she wasn't the last among the educated youth. None of the educated youth who had just arrived yesterday were there, and several of the veterans were also absent. The villagers seemed accustomed to this.

When Captain Liu saw Song Yun and her brother, he immediately waved to her, "Song Zhiqing, come here."

Song Yun pulled Song Ziyi forward. Before they got close, they heard Captain Liu shout, "Song Zhiqing, aren't you still sick and not fully recovered? Go pick pig grass with Fangfang tomorrow."

Song Yun quickly responded, "Okay, thank you, Captain."

Liu Fangfang had been waiting for a long time. As soon as her father finished speaking, she ran to Song Yun and took Song Yun's hand, "Come on, I'll take you to get the backpack and sickle."

The tools were all in the tool room at the brigade headquarters. Liu Fangfang skillfully picked out two nice sickles and two backpacks suitable for them to carry. She also got a small backpack for Song Ziyi so that he could carry it and play with it.

It was the first time for Song Ziyi to carry this kind of bamboo basket. He was very curious and happily followed his sister to collect grass for pigs.

Song Yun knew all the herbs growing in the wild, but she didn't know what pig grass and cow grass were. Fortunately, she had a good teacher, Liu Fangfang, who quickly taught her to recognize all the grasses that pigs could eat, collectively called pig grass.

Song Ziyi followed suit and identified all the pig grasses.

Afterwards, Song Yun suggested that they act separately so that they could complete the task sooner.

Liu Fangfang said whatever she wanted, gave some instructions on what to do, and then separated from the siblings.

Song Yun took Song Ziyi to the mountainside to cut grass for pigs for a while. After making sure that there was no one around, she immediately took Song Ziyi into the mountains.

There was also pig grass in the mountains. Seeing that Song Ziyi was busy cutting it and not paying attention to her, Song Yun started to do something.

The mountains are lush with vegetation and a wide variety of species. As long as you don't pull out the plants in one place, it won't be easy to notice if a few trees are missing.

With the experience from last time, Song Yun looked for mature trees that had opened their branches or borne fruit to scan. The results were very encouraging. One of the trees was a large camphor tree that was bearing camphor seeds. The system gave her a high price of 500 star coins. The rest of the trees were priced at 100 or 300 star coins. She didn't dare to get too many at a time, and she stopped after making a total of 1,200 star coins.

The next step was to cut grass for the pigs. While cutting grass for the pigs, I was looking for herbal remedies to treat severe pneumonia.

For Song Yun, who had studied traditional Chinese medicine, Bai Qingxia's symptoms were already in a very critical condition. Herbal medicine could only play a supporting role. The only thing that could really make the condition heal quickly was the acupuncture and traditional Chinese massage techniques that she had studied for many years.

There are no conditions for acupuncture now. She has been looking for a long time in Beijing, but she couldn't find anyone selling silver needles. It's hard to cook without rice. Even if her acupuncture skills are superb, she has nowhere to practice them.

As for the ancient massage technique, it needs to be supplemented by the inner essence of Qi in order to truly display the essence of the ancient massage technique. However, with her current body condition, it will take some time for her to practice the inner essence of Qi again.

Now she could only take herbal medicine to alleviate the condition. As long as the condition did not worsen, she would have time to continue to inquire about silver needles. There might be foot doctors who knew acupuncture or Chinese medicine practitioners living in seclusion in the countryside. Maybe she could get silver needles from them.
